In the Federal Register of August 13, 2010, EPA published proposed modifications to the IUR regulations. EPA is suspending the next submission period to allow additional time to finalize the proposed modifications to the IUR regulations, and to avoid finalizing changes to the reporting requirements in the midst of the 2011 submission period. EPA expects to finalize, in the near future, changes to the IUR reporting requirements which will supersede this action.
The IUR final rule had established June 1, 2011 to September 30, 2011, as the second of a series of recurring submission periods for the IUR. The current action suspends the second IUR submission period, which is the next IUR submission period. Thus, the submission of IUR data for the next submission period will be neither required nor accepted until the suspension has been lifted or superseded by subsequent EPA action. This is needed due to the length of time which has been necessary to complete work on the proposed modifications and to avoid finalizing changes to the reporting requirements in the midst of the 2011 submission period. This is a one-time suspension of the next submission period only, and it does not alter the timing of subsequent submission periods.
